Stanford 30, Boston College 20
Q. First of all, just a bounceback game today. Talk about your performance tonight.
BEN GULBRANSON: Yeah, I think it was an ultimate team win out there: special teams, defense, offense, offensive line, backs, receivers, tight ends, catching the ball and making plays in space. Yeah, just really proud of the way we played tonight.
Q. Just talk about that particular pass you had to Roush for a touchdown. What was the call and the drop there? Talk about that.
BEN GULBRANSON: Yeah, we were running the ball well and we called one of our movements off it. Sam did a great job getting open and then finishing the run. He's a special player and he can make a lot of guys miss after the catch. Really just proud of the way he played and excited for him.
Q. What was your approach coming into this game, just what you wanted to do offensively and just from the passing standpoint?
BEN GULBRANSON: Yeah, I think our offense, we want to play complementary football and we want to play fast and play physical. Yeah, I want to complete the ball out there and get the ball in the other guy's hands and let them go make plays and get us in the right runs and let the O-line and the backs work.
Q. The long touchdown pass, you know, I think it was throw to the 50 yard line or sideline, takes it to the house. How much did that help you maybe relax a little bit and settle into the game?
BEN GULBRANSON: Yeah, I think that was a big momentum shift for us there in that game. Just everybody involved in that play, popping for a big one right before the half, I think that was huge for us carrying us into the second half.
Q. 30 points tonight, which is more than the first two games combined. Just how electric is this offense becoming?
BEN GULBRANSON: Yeah, we're just playing complementary football, and also helps when defense gets a touchdown. Love to see that. They're playing their asses off over there, so glad we could help them out.
Q. Talk about what you got out of Micah Ford in this one.
BEN GULBRANSON: Micah Ford?
Q. Yeah.
BEN GULBRANSON: Yeah, one of the hardest workers on our team and obviously I wouldn't want to tackle him. He's a hell of a player. Hard worker. Gets after it in the meeting and weight room and it shows out on the field.
Q. Collin was just in here and talking about changing the narrative and tuning out noise. Do you feel individually you had something to prove tonight?
BEN GULBRANSON: I would wouldn't say -- I like playing football and I was just going to keep believing in my process. I felt like offensively we kind of found something late against BYU, and it felt good to carry it out here. Really happy for this unit tonight.
Q. What was that that you found out in that game?
BEN GULBRANSON: I think just getting some rhythm against a great defense and a great team overall, and in a tough environment. To be able to just get that rolling in a life atmosphere and bringing it to this game was really good for us.
Q. Bryce Farrell had another big game tonight. What do you guys feel is the connection is and how has that been working?
BEN GULBRANSON: Yeah, another old guy on the team. Obviously one of the fastest guys out there. Great hands. Just a great playmaker for us. Really happy with the way he's playing out there and happy for him.
